chapter 18 : i fell for him, and forgot to resist

april 3, 2019

kyunghee woke up about forty minutes early and decided to make japanese bento boxes for lunch. one for herself, one for yeosang (since he slept over), and one for the birthday boy, park seonghwa.

seonghwa's was extra special - it was his big day after all. she added decorations around his sushi. after it was all wrapped up prettily, she got ready to go to school.

after everyone was ready to go to school at around 7:20 am, yeosang and kyunghee ate breakfast in the kitchen. mom was already taking care of jaeeun, who was almost fully recovered.

yeosang ate a bite of his cereal and eyed kyunghee curiously, "why do you look so fancy today? and what's with the makeup...?"

"why can't i look cute once in a while?"

he scoffed and finished his food, placing the dishes in the sink. when he turned back around, he saw kyunghee placing three lunchboxes in her bag.

he laughed, "fattie. what's with all the food?"

"they're not all for me!" kyunghee fought back. "in fact, i made one for you, so you should be nice to me."

yeosang sighed and took one of the bento boxes from her so she wouldn't have to carry so much. kyunghee panicked upon seeing which one he took and grabbed it back.

"wait don't take that one!"

"why?"

"it's seonghwa's," kyunghee softly told him. a blush grew on her face. yeosang chuckled and nodded along.

"right, it's his birthday... so that's why you're dressed nice."

kyunghee scowled, "no, i'm only dressed cute because i wanted to. not because of seonghwa."

at lunchtime, the big moment came where kyunghee would have to deliver the lunchbox to seonghwa. she hadn't been able to talk to seonghwa much today, so hopefully she could talk to them about the lake house retreat.

after getting pep-talked by junichi and hyoju, she too a deep breath, then walked to the gang's table. it was a picnic table outside, isolated from the huge, noisy cafeteria.

"happy birthday, seonghwa." she became shy as she placed the box in the middle of their tables, the boy's other boys watching.

seonghwa sighed as he opened it up. there were lots of pink and purple decorations, making him purse his lips. he still tried not to hurt her feelings, although he hated how girly it looked, "oh, thanks. wanna sit with us?"

she nodded and retrieved her box from the other table with her friends. she took a seat beside seonghwa and yunho.

yeosang and seonghwa ate the food well. kyunghee was happy to see them enjoy the food she made.

"is this supposed to bribe me into letting you come on our trip?" seonghwa asked while smirking.

"huh? no, it's because it's your birthday so i thought we should celebrate—"

"you can come," he shrugged and kyunghee nodded silently. seonghwa added, "only if you ask nicely."

kyunghee sighed and did so, "um, may i please come on the trip?"

seonghwa shook his head as he smiled and leaned closer to her, "say 'oppa, please let me come.'"

she frowned, not wanting to act all cute in front of everyone. "no, seong—"

"it's my birthday, isn't it?" seonghwa was smirking and waited expectantly for her to talk.

"oppa," she instantly covered her face from embarrassment and sighed. the rest of the guys were reacting as well. "please let me come."

he half-smiled and placed his thumb on her chin to make her face him again, "i'll pick you up tomorrow morning around 10."

wooyoung whispered to mingi, "i don't know what that was, but that was hella kinky."

mingi nodded back vigorously and they kept listening to their conversation as they ate.

kyunghee nodded as she realized something horrific, "wait...we're skipping school for a whole week?"

her teacher's pet side didn't like the concept too much. not to mention, her mom would have to take care of jaeeun all alone.

"something wrong?" yeosang asked her. she thought for a moment, then shook her head, "n-no, it's fine."

yeosang and kyunghee brainstormed in her bedroom that night,  desperately trying to create an excuse for kyunghee to skip school this week.

"could you say spring break was early?" yeosang asked.

"no, because i'll be screwed when the actual spring break comes around."

"true. hey, wait..." yeosang stood up suddenly. "we could say we're staying over at each other's houses."

"its risky." kyunghee tapped her chin, "hmm, actually that might work."

"let's try it..."

that afternoon when school was over, hyoju walked behind the building, her lighter and cigarette in hand.

when she reached a hidden place, she was face to face with park seonghwa and jung wooyoung. her knees buckled as she asked, "what are you doing here?"

"smoking. you?" seonghwa sounded overly confident, but they were suspicious of her.

hyoju shrugged as she flipped up her lighter, "what a coincidence."

wooyoung told her, "find somewhere else. this isn't a place for softies."

she scoffed, "isn't seonghwa a softie for kyungee, though?"

"never," seonghwa told her and flicked the tip of his blunt.

"does that mean you like bad girls?" hyoju questioned flirtatiously as she lit hers.

seonghwa squinted at her and glanced at wooyoung, "i don't have a type,"

"well i like bad boys," hyoju told him, smirking.

wooyoung and seonghwa both wanted to cringe. wooyoung advised her, "keep your legs shut, he likes kyunghee."

hyoju puffed a large cloud of smoke and told him with a wink, "we'll see about that, yeah?"
